Matuku-tangotango - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In Māori mythology, Matuku-tangotango (Matuku) is an ogre who kills Wahieroa the son of Tāwhaki. |
| | He hears from Matuku's servant that at the new moon his master can be killed at the pool where he washes his face and hair. |
| | A South Island version names the islands where Matuku lives as Puorunuku and Puororangi and also states that Rātā nooses Matuku as he comes out of his lair to perform certain rituals (Tregear 1891:232, 399-400). |
